Hyatt Provides Summary Of Sale Of Six Hotels

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (“Hyatt” or the “Company”) (NYSE: H) today summarized previously announced asset sales. Since May, the Company sold six owned full-service hotels for a total gross sales price of approximately $433 million. These asset sales complete the marketing process for six hotels that the Company began earlier this year and are consistent with the Company’s asset recycling strategy – selling certain hotels, maintaining presence in respective markets by entering into new management or franchise agreements, and re-investing sale proceeds into new hotels and other growth opportunities.

The six hotels are as follows:

Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf, 313 rooms

Hyatt Santa Barbara, 195 rooms

Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center, 451 rooms

Andaz Napa, 141 rooms

Andaz Savannah, 151 rooms

Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, 501 rooms

The total gross sales price reflects an approximate 5% trailing-twelve-month NOI capitalization rate or a greater than 15x trailing-twelve-month EBITDA multiple. Hyatt entered into new management or franchise agreements for each hotel. The new owners of the hotels have agreed to invest over $20 million on capital expenditures in total.
